Ornamental Grass

dwarf maiden dead?

14 years ago

I planted a 15' X 30' flower garden last spring. I built it up with 15" of top soil. Everything came back nicely except for a few of the grasses, particularly the Dwarf Maiden. It has last years (12" across) (4" high) dry stalk clump with only a few blades of new grass comming out from one side. Should I leave it and hope it comes back next spring?

Leave it - you might be surprised what you will get from what looks like only a few leaves.

OK - thanks - any idea why it didn't jump up like everything else? I'm kinda new at this....
